I cherish the times of day when light is everything.
When a single moment can transform the everyday, into that perfect moment in time.
To seek the infinite subtleties of low light and thestories hidden in the shadows.

I love faces that have history and joy, the eccentric, the difficult and the ordinary, celebrating both the human of us and the infinite fantasticality of nature.

Primarily working in gouache and watercolours, I consider myself a portrait artist struggling to break the boundaries of hyper-realism.

I started work within the newspaper industry in the early 70s as a designer and illustrator.
I now paint full time from my home in Campbell River, British Columbia

In 2019 I introduced Ol’son, my ARV (Arts Research Vehicle), a fully renovated 1985 Grumman Olson Step Van, converted into a mobile art studio, with which I hope one day to travel across Canada, painting my way from coast to coast.
